Blog Q&A

Welcome to the Blog Q&A. This is your chance to speak directly to the Blog Staff (DeeVee, the Blog Leader, and his assistants Nukaya, Shine, Bfahome, Ta-metru_defender, and Takuma Nuva) and ask any questions you may have about the world of blogs.

Please check out the Blog FAQ first, as your question may have been already answered.

While I'm here, I just wanted to know offhand how to make it so comments are allowed when the people post them and don't have to be approved by me? Do I simply set the setting in the control panel to No Approve?

King Kobra - Yes, that's exactly it. Go into "Your Blog Links" (obviously you know where that is), click into the "Look" section and on of those dropdown lists (the one about comments), choose "No Approve."

1. Are there any size guidelines or limits for embedded images? I'm assuming images in entries shouldn't stretch the screen, as they shouldn't stretch the screen in a post. Is this correct? What would be a good width to be sure they don't?

2. If you use a BZP image (a smilie, a rank image that you've earned, etc.) in a content block, do you need to move it to your own image hosting site first or can it be direct-linked? My guess is the "BZP is not an image hosting site" rule applies here, but I've seen members do it so I'm wondering if this is an exception.

1. I'm not entirely sure about size rules, but as to ensure that they don't stretch the screen (or go outside of the entry widths. I've seen the image go behind the content block text and serve as a "background" for the text rather than the usual color) I'd say the width should be less than 800 - the sum of the widths of your content blocks.2.
